HNL Studios

HNL Studios was by FAR our favorite wedding vendor to work with. From our very first conversations, they made sure that we were a good fit and put all of our pandemic wedding planning questions at ease. Through a year and a half of planning, including once rescheduling, they were there with us every step of the way. We really appreciated how helpful Keshia was in communicating with us. She even helped us with recommendations for other vendors, like our day of coordinator and our DJ/MC. We loved them so much that we ended up scheduling a second engagement shoot just to have the opportunity to work with them more. Charles and JJ were so fun to work with, and their directions put us at ease. It can be so awkward to pose for formal photos, and Charles gave us prompts and direction that helped really show our personality. You can actually see how much we are in love. They turned around preview images of our wedding within only 3 days, so we had something to share with our families and friends via social media and email. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. Our guests absolutely LOVED our Photo Booth and had so much fun. They even customized our photo booth photo layout so that it matched my wedding stationary. Their pricing and payment methods were fair and honest, and worked well within our budget. Every single detail they handled was perfect. If you need a wedding photographer and/or photo booth, we cannot recommend HNL Studios enough. Thank you Charles, Keshia, JJ, Romeo, and the whole HNL Studios team for really making our wedding as stress free and special as possible. LOVE YOU GUYS!

HNL Studios was wonderful to work with! They were very responsive, friendly and a true talent. We hired them for our wedding, and every interaction was thoughtful and professional. They made our planning extremely easy and fun. We were also truly happy with the amount of options included in one package photography, videography, DJ, Emcee, photo booth, drone footage, and more. Keshia, our amazing point of contact, Romeo, our outstanding DJ, and the entire team were complete rockstars. We are very excited to see the rest of their work within the coming weeks and months. And we would highly recommend them to everyone!

HNL Studios have been with us from the beginning, and we’re happy we could finish our previous chapter with them. They were very patient with us since Day 1, especially when we had to postpone our wedding, and the multiple back and forth emails. Luckily they were available on our new date, so it was still meant to be! We want to thank every single one of them for their professionalism and guidance during our wedding. We already know our photos are going to turn out perfect like our proposal and engagement ones. We can’t thank them enough!

HNL STUDIOS, absolutely amazing! Exceeding our expectations and dreams! The photos are just a reflection of their work and art! But their Team!!! They are the best people to work with! So intentional and so genuine!!

I had an engagement photo shoot with JJ and Charles when I was visiting Hawaii in August 2022. I cannot say enough great things! They were both so kind and did such a great job. They took the time to get to know us as people and made sure to capture our photos exactly how we wanted. They also were so patient with my fiancé and I since this was our first photo shoot. Thank you both so much for the wonderful time it was for sure one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii!! Steph Richter & Ross Becker

Newly engaged?? You've come to the right place if you're reading this review! Charles and his team are AMAZING!! I booked them for my upcoming wedding and got the package that includes an engagement shoot. Keshia was so helpful since the very beginning. She is always checking on me to see if there's anything I need help with and with this pandemic, there have been many changes in plans for my wedding. : But, HNL has been SUPER understanding and helpful. My fiance and I took our engagement photos in January and we LOVE how our photos turned out! It was exactly what I wanted and they captured both us and the beautiful scenery perfectly! I love that we get to know them and vice versa before the big day so we could both get comfortable around one another. My fiance and I have never taken professional photos before so it was a bit awkward at first but, after HNL explained the different poses, it was a breeze! Charles and Nikki are super down to earth and easy to work with. They are dedicated to their work and are passionate about what they do. When I told them where I wanted to take my engagement photos, they went there beforehand to scope it out since they had never been there before. Now that's dedication & service! I can't wait for them to be at my wedding! I just know they will do an amazing job at capturing all the right moments!

I loved working with HNL Studios and extremely satisfied with the premium quality photography work they provided. I loved their photo journalistic approach, which was very important to me, and their overall photography style. Very approachable and easy to work with, they made the entire planning and executing process relatively painless.

OMG! Where do I even start with HNL? They are truly the best vendor we worked with. From beginning to end and in between, it was perfect! We hired them for photobooth, photographer, and DJ/Emcee. Everything was top notch. The sneak peek they sent me were already amazing and I can't wait to see the rest. Everyone loved the photobooth. Our DJ/Emcee was amazing as well. I don't know what else to say, but they are THE BEST of THE BEST. The people were so awesome to work with and genuinely are the nicest people. I appreciate them so much. Thank you for making our wedding so special.

Wow, I am so happy with their services that I am not even sure where to begin! I searched for a photographer for WEEKS before we stumbled upon HNL Studios. I was immediately struck by their artistic style and that they had the timeless look were after. HNL Studios did both our engagement and wedding photography. I am so awkward in front of the camera, but Charles our photographer made me feel at ease and comfortable every step of the way. Keshia the manager is very professional, down to earth, and always responsive with my emails. What I loved most about our wedding day experience with HNL Studios, was their confidence helping me relax knowing everything was going to work out. Ladies--You need people like this on your wedding day. Our photos are memories we will treasure forever. Each picture clearly captures the hundreds of emotions that happened that day. If you want an amazing experience from start to end, book HNL Studios. Thank you!
